This is a memory game that is really useful when you want kids to remember all, not just some, of the vocab from today’s lesson!
1. ย Do today’s lesson as usual with the song.
2. ย Now hold up the pack of ย today’s flashcards.
3. Show each card in turn and the kids have to say the phrase from the card e.g. May I borrow your scissors?ย
4. ย Slowly keep going round the cards, ย but gradually getting faster and faster with the kids saying the phrases each time.
5. ย Then ……… stop.
6. ย You then say “Next is?” ย and the kids have to remember and then shout out what the next card is!
7. ย Keep going round and round getting faster and faster.
8. ย Next time you stop you either say “Next is?” or “Last one was?” ย and the kids have to say the right card!
It takes a lot of self discipline from the kids and is lots of fun when you mix up the “next” and “last” parts! ๐

These ebooks really are fabulous! My kids have become extra Genki since I’ve started using these games! There are so many available that we could do a different game at every class. Except the kids won’t let me because they beg for us to do the balloon game every single time!
